Lucerne recognition for Marco Liembd
The Cultural Promotion Commission of the Canton of Lucerne awards Marco Liembd the Cultural Promotion Prize of 15,000 Swiss francs for his many years of commitment to the Lucerne music scene.
Marco Liembd left his first mark on Lucerne's cultural landscape as a singer in the band "The Unborn Chikken Voices", according to a statement from the canton. In 2001, he switched to the radio microphone, working as head of music at Radio 3FACH and later at "Sounds" on Radio SRF 3.
From 2010, Liembd was Head of Music at Radio Pilatus and was responsible for providing listeners with national and international sound. After a two-year stint at Lucerne's multi-genre venue Südpol, Liembd has been Managing Director of Konzerthaus Schüür since 2016.
Every year, the Cultural Promotion Commission awards the Cultural Promotion Prize to individuals who have made a special contribution to the cultural life of the Canton of Lucerne through their work, their activities or in some other way.
